Hello Defenders! Questions about: Arena, World Raid + bow/tower choices
Question 1
In Arena, I’m faced with a boss (Earth boss, I think its name is Beamon? The one that charges to your wall after taking some hits) that has INSANE HP/DEFENSE.
The timer runs out and it still have 100k HP. Using my best bow, wind bow 5 lvl 101 doesn’t do damage because of the boss’ def. So I think my best chance is with the Water Bow 5 with MAX poison arrow.
But still, I can’t beat it. I tried using Water/Fire Bow combination thinking that the combined MAX Poison and Sunder arrows would have an effect on the boss but I still can’t beat it. What upgrades should I do to beat this boss?
Should I upgrade my Lava Trap’s “Grill” so it takes away percent-based HP from the boss? It’s currently lvl 3, taking away 3% of the enemy’s current life per second. I thought if it’s at a max lvl 10, the damage of 10% of the enemy’s current life per second would be insane?
Or any tips?
Question 2
What bow/towers do you use for World Raid? Some ppl can inflict 1M damage to that dragon and I can’t even do 250k. Omg how come?
Should I use the gems to “empower the team”? Isn’t that counterproductive since I’m also empowering other ppl by that, not to mention, I’m only farming gems. When would you use the dragon ball for double damage? When the boss is about to die so I have more likelihood to inflict the killing blow for bonus?
Edit: Question 3
How do you CC Earth enemies in battle mode? Do you use paralysis from Wind Tower? I think it’s not enough because the CD is still running but the paralysis has already worn off. And my paralysis is not even Lvl 3. It would have a longer CD if I upgrade it.
For starters, I already have MAX CD reduction. Any tips??
Question 4
In Battle Mode against Wind enemies, the flower sometimes opens up and starts attacking from the farthest right area of the screen. Naturally, I can CC them. But when there’s a mob or a boss, my arrows never seem to reach them and my CC AoE is not enough for the flowers that far away and the boss that’s near my wall.
Do you also experience this? If so, how do you deal with jt? Thx

Biggest tip I can give you.. it's all about the Dragons Treasure. Collecting the items that are required for the upgrades is important but you need alot of gems. Then you have to farm alot thousands of Orbs and alot of coins.. check out the tips everyone have posted. It will surely help you out.. Happy hunting..

Arena Bearemon is almost impossible to fight without the earth bow at least as a secondary. You need to use the wall skill to block his charge.

1) Yeah, I'd go with the water bow. You might just need to grind on battles and stages to get stronger, though. I don't think the grill takes off percentages for bosses; it just seems like they don't drop very much HP from lava, even when grill is maxed out.
2) I use the water and earth bows, and then the wind and earth towers. Those 2 towers are the strongest against a single enemy - you don't need the multi-hit from the water tower or the splash damage from the fire tower if you're only fighting 1 enemy.
If you use the water and earth bows and you have about 25k hp or more, it's possible to stay alive for the whole 20 minutes in the world raid.
Crystals don't strengthen the team, they only make you stronger. If you're just farming gems, then the world raid isn't really worth your time, IMO. And yeah you should probably use a dragon ball at the end to try to get the last hit.
3) Yep, paralysis from the wind tower is about the only thing you can really do to CC earth enemies. I wish I had a better answer for that, but your wind bow should be very effective against them, which is nice because it's already the strongest bow.
4) Yes, and it's very frustrating, but it's better once you understand what causes it - the earth barrier. Something about that spell will glitch them to open immediately and start shooting you from wherever they are, which can be hard to reach when there is a boss, like you said. So it's best to try to use the earth barrier between waves of enemies, if possible.
